Hong Kong shares, along with others in Asia, cool down after a peak

SHANGHAI Aug 16 (Reuters) - Hong Kong shares, like those in
many Asian markets, were roughly flat on Tuesday, as they cooled
off after reaching their highest point this year.

The Hang Seng index fell 0.1 percent, to 22,910.84,
while the China Enterprises Index was unchanged at
9,707.99 points.

Although share markets were lacklustre on Tuesday, there is
not much pessimism in Asia at present, thanks to a jump in oil
prices and investor expectations of an extended phase of easy
monetary policy around the globe.
